This place offers amazingly huge burritos that both taste great and only cost 5.25. That's right, for quarter more than $5 you can eat a wonderful built-to-order burrito creation that will fill up even the hungriest of individuals. They'll even deliver it to you! Try the soyrizo, it's great!

Recent Additions include vegetarian chilli for 3 bucks and quesadillas for $4.25

The people that say the employees are dirt-bags are ridiculous. okay is the chicken over cooked? yes, at three in the morning the chicken is over cooked. get over yourselves. everyone i know loves flying burrito. people come to town excited to eat here: FROM A DIFFERENT STATE. People just need to learn to expect what they get from cheap food... cheap food. For what it is Flying burrito is amazing. the portions are HUGE and they deliver.. what more do you want? I say get off your high horse and order you‘ll be pleasantly surprised..

I will never eat here again. They have huge rice burritos because that‘s pretty much all that is in them. I ordered a beef burrito and all it was was a bunch of rice and a couple of veggies. There wasn‘t even any salsa and guacamole which I had to pay extra for. They are fired from ever cooking a meal for me again!

The sickest burrito i have ever had! Panchero‘s is the place to get good burritos! Flying burritos rice was disgusting and in the time it took to drive 5 blocks home from the restaurant, my tortilla was completely soggy and falling apart. Waste of money and time.

I LOVE the burritos and appreciate the portion size (I can make two meals out of one burrito). However, yeah...customer service has been seriously spotty. When we first discovered this place, we used to call for delivery. Three times they sent us the same surly delivery chick....didn‘t crack a smile, barely said a word, made me feel like I should apologize to her for making her come out into the fresh air to deliver our food, so three times I opted not to tip her. The third time she actually said to me "We‘ve delivered to this address three times now and we don‘t appreciate the fact that you never tip. If you don‘t start tipping, we are not going to deliver to you anymore." Are you freaking kidding me??? I boycotted for awhile, but then fell off that wagon. I have never called for delivery again, and I only tip in the store if the service is extraordinary. I don‘t feel like they deserve the obligitory tip.
